Structures and pointers

[hemant sail]

Hi
I would like to know how we can copy 1 structure into another without the addesses
that is
in a function I am passing a structure pointer
BOOL match_key_to_re c(char *pkey, char *prec)
{

}
where pkey is
PUTAWAYKEY_S *pkey;

Inside the function I am defining a structure variable
PUTAWAYKEY_S lpkey

and i am using the foll
memcpy( lpkey.load_type , (*pkey).load_ty pe, 1 );
memcpy( lpkey.sku, pkey->sku, L_SKU );
memcpy( lpkey.company, pkey->company, L_COMPANY );
memcpy( lpkey.season, pkey->season, L_SKU_SEASON_CO DE )

where sku,load_type,c ompany and season are the structure fields
Will this work I an getting the errorsin this statements

Kindly provide your valuable ideas

A char* is not a structure pointer. You say that pkey is a PUTAWAYKEY_S * so I would expect the function arguments to be:
[code=c]
BOOL match_key_to_re c(PUTAWAYKEY_S *pkey, PUTAWAYKEY_S *prec)
{

}
[/code]

what does your struct look like?

Almost certainly memcpy() is not the way to go.
